Improve fuel stop functionality
-
Thanks for your feedback!
I believe we are indeed able to improve this a bit more
We are currently working on more core stability stuff, I'll add this for the period after that.
@Corjan-Meijerink I think this is not only a problem of MRA but more a problem of the Here map. I used to ride a lot with the BMW Navigator V and a Garmin, both also with the Here map. Now I still have the Garmin Zumo XT on but use MRA for navigation. Even then (but still now) it occurred/occurs with regularity that gas stations were passed along the way that were not on the map and vice versa, stations that were on the map turned out not to exist anymore. So I think the underlying problem lies with Here and not with MRA. _____________________________________________
Ik denk dat dit niet alleen een probleem van MRA is, maar meer een probleem van de Here kaart. Vroeger reed ik veel met de BMW Navigator V en een Garmin, beide ook met de Here kaart. Nu heb ik nog steeds de Garmin Zumo XT aan maar gebruik MRA voor navigatie. Ook toen (maar nu nog steeds) kwam/komt het regelmatig voor dat er onderweg tankstations voorbij kwamen die niet op de kaart stonden en andersom, stations die wel op de kaart stonden bleken niet meer te bestaan. Ik denk dus dat het onderliggende probleem bij Here ligt en niet bij MRA.met een R1250RT met TFT en BMW Connected Ride App; de Garmin Zumo XT en My Route App in combinatie met de Carpuride W702 (voor Android op de Motor!)

One glaring omission was on the way back motorway services in France were shown as having restaurants but not fuel when indeed fuel was there.

Why not add fuel stops at the planning stage of your route?
No more fuel anxiety.
You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

No more fuel anxiety.@Lynchy67 Not all routes are planned to that level of detail. And again database has to be accurate to pick appropriate stations. Then what happens when the station you have picked is closed? Having come from tomtom where there fuel system is vastly superior and useful, just want the same on MRA.

Personally I do not take the motorbike out for night rides.
In the UK most petrol stations are open between 7am and 9pm, 7 days a week.You don’t stop riding when you get old, you get old when you stop riding.

It is sometimes hard to believe that in some other countries you can't fill up when closed...
I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebar to the saddle.

@Con-Hennekens come to Germany. These stations are very rare.

@Michael-Rhys the Here POI database is terribly unreliable. I use other apps (such as Google maps) to select fuel stop in advance. If I'm in a pinch and need fuel, I'll use Gasbuddy to find a station here in Canada.

I happen to know that from experience...
I think that is due to the unfair (in my opinion) system of "your price depends on the time of day" system that is used for gas in Germany

Indeed, my local Tesco Superstore has 24/7 Pay at the Pump facilities.

@Lynchy67 But that only works if the Tesco petrol station is included in the Fuel stations available. As has been said the here fuel database is wanting. MRA should consider a more up to date POI fuel database. Also it should only show fuel stations on the immediate route unless requested otherwise, by pressing the fuel icon.

@Con-Hennekens I hate this, I have to use an App to find the time slot where the price is best, so you watch the up and down a hole day and jump off to the station and before you grip the gas pistol it changes again.
Sorry off topic.
